If I was in your shoes I'll call someone like Martin at tick performance or Brian Tooley and ask them about that . I know for a fact Brian go give you a honest answer. On the other hand you just may be better off selling that cam and get one more suited for your application which is what I would do.

Yes, I've heard I can go either way with the cam specs. I'm no cam expert I've accumulated parts for a turbo build this cam being one of the parts on a trade. Just not sure if ill be finishing the whole turbo build this year but I already got this cam in and just wondered if it would make any power in a NA setup for the time being.

Will it run and make decent power until you turbo? Yes.
That's the short answer. The long answer goes into overlap, cylinder pressures and other things the average person considers to be black magic when dealing with cams.
It's not going to make as much power as a cam designed for N/A, but it will beat a stock-ish cam all day.
